Shah Raza

Shah Raza is a semi-professional poker player from the United Kingdom. His first known appearance on a televised table came in April 2016 at the Cash Game Festival London, where he played a £1/£1 no-limit hold'em cash game. At the time, he described himself as a semi-professional player and noted it was his first time on a live stream.

In October 2016, Raza made a significant mark in the tournament scene at the 888Live Poker Festival London. The £880 Main Event attracted 288 entrants, creating a prize pool of £228,096. After two days of play, Raza emerged as the chip leader with 1,153,000 chips, the only player above a million. He navigated the final day to reach heads-up play against Ka Him Li, ultimately finishing as runner-up and earning £35,300. This remains his most notable tournament result.

Limited information is available about Raza's playing style. During the 2016 Cash Game Festival, he did not elaborate on his approach. In the 888Live Main Event, he was noted for staying out of trouble and making the most of his time at the feature table, suggesting a patient, opportunistic style.

Shah Raza is primarily recognized for his strong performance in the 2016 888Live London Main Event, where he came close to winning a major title. His appearances in live streams and tournaments have established him as a competitor on the UK poker scene, though his career achievements beyond 2016 remain undocumented in the provided sources.
